New York Times Bestseller - Barnes & Noble 2025 Book of the Year - Boston Globe Best Book of the Year - National Indie Bestseller - Top Ten Indie Next Pick - Indigo Heather's Pick


Ten-year-old Mona and her beloved grandfather have only fifty-two Wednesdays to visit fifty-two works of art and commit to memory "all that is beautiful in the world" before Mona loses her sight forever.


While the doctors can find no explanation for Mona's brief episode of blindness, they agree that the threat of permanent vision loss cannot be ruled out. The girl's grandfather, Henry, may not be able to stop his granddaughter from losing her sight, but he can fill the encroaching darkness with beauty. Every Wednesday for a year, the pair abscond together and visit a single masterpiece in one of Paris's renowned museums. From Botticelli to Basquiat, Mona learns how each artist's work shaped the world around them. In turn, the young girl's world is changed forever by the power of their art. Under the kind and careful tutelage of her grandfather, Mona learns the true meaning of generosity, melancholy, love, loss, and revolution. Her perspective will never be the same--nor will the reader's.


Mona's Eyes is a heartfelt, enlightening journey across five centuries of Western art history. With the emotional impact of The Elegance of the Hedgehog and the readability of The Little Paris Bookshop, Thomas Schlesser's sensational debut novel is at once a moving book about the beauty of life and a deeply touching story about the special bond between a girl and her grandfather.


"Vibrant debut ... Schlesser seamlessly interweaves the art lessons with Mona's story... Readers of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World will love this."--Publishers Weekly

Great at Protecting Cigars under 6 Inches in Length
Color: RYLCC-GLD
Solid and well made cigar holder. It has a built-in punch cutter, but I found it to be way too big and dull on top of that. Both ends unscrew and can be used as a cigar rest if you don't have an ash tray handy. It definitely will not fit any cigar over 6 inches in length. It looks really nice and definitely provides protection for the cigar. The claim that it has one end to use as an ashtray is ridiculous, so bring an ashtray as this will not work for that. It is a cigar holder with a rest and nothing more. Bring along a proper cutter and an ashtray and you will be happy. I deducted one star for the poor punch cutter and the ashtray claim.

Very nice quality and build, very solid and looks durable. The cigar punch is a lil too big in diameter but definitely a must buy product. Fast shipping and packaging. No padding came for bottom little astray bottom

Durable and Makes a Statement
Color: RYLCC-new gold, Color: RYLCC-new gold
This is a bit of a statement piece. It appears to be machined out of a solid piece of metal. Gold toned, it shows you have arrived. It is a bit weighty. It can hold a large ring cigar; a Robusto would be no problem. A Churchill would be too long. It does the job. It comes with a dropper for the distilled water and some Ziploc type bags (not sure why they are included). It's worth the selling price of $8.90 . Great as a gift as well.

Machine quality
Color: RYLCC-BLK, Color: RYLCC-BLK
For the price not bad, machining quality flawed. Could have been better. More of an aesthetic quality, other than that defect not bad.
